Don't Mess Up a Good Thing Songtext
von Gregg Allman

You′ve been cheating on me, now
You know I know it's true
′Cause there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna love you like I do

Don't you be no fool (Don′t you be no fool)
Don′t you be no fool (Don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on fooling around, now, baby
You gonna mess up a good thing

Well, I′m not a cheatin' or a losin′ baby
Nobody knows like you
'Cause when I get my paycheck, darlin′
I rush it on home to you

Don't be no fool (Don't you be no fool)
Don′t be a fool, no (Don′t you be no fool)
You gonna keep on jivin' around, now, baby
You gonna mess up a good thing

Good thing, baby
A good thing, a good thing
A good thing, a good thing


They tell me you′ve got a part-time lover
Livin' away across town
It won′t be more than a little while, woman
'Til you′ll be puttin' me down

Don't you be no fool (Don′t you be no fool)
Don′t you be no fool (Don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on messin′ around, now, baby
You gonna mess up a good thing

Don't come sneakin′ across town, baby
You sure to catch me doin' you wrong
′Cause you know and I know and all our friends know
We got a good thing goin'

Don't you be no fool (Don′t you be no fool)
Don′t be no fool, no (Don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on foolin′ around, now, baby
You gonna mess up a good thing

You better listen to what I say, now
A good thing, baby
A good thing, a good thing
A good thing, a good thing

Don't fool around
Mess up the best thing you ever knowed
